up-cycled wheelchair

Using my wheelchair more often, made me realize again, how "sweaty" the seat cover is. Rubbery/plastic. I thought of putting a cushion cover around the seat.

My friend Heike came to stay for the weekend and commented how all chairs look alike. Black. Boring. No personality. I agree, they are just functional mobility aids, nothing to get excited about... That was all about to change!

We up-cycled my chair (or to use a term used from an American TV program.. we pimped my chair)!

What fUN! 

a black wheelchair, just like any other
(the arms rests, already removed)

Up-cycling in progress

cushion cover make-over 

arms rests too hard...
but not for much longer

end result!

even the back is more exciting!

If you have your own ideas, or created a more exciting chair for yourself already... love to hear!

Thanks for stopping by!

ps. As I no longer have a Facebook or Twitter account (find it all too confusing...)
